Mixed Metal Necklace

One-of-a-Kind Mixed Metal Necklace With the rising cost of precious metals, we decided to rethink the way we create—and turn what we already had into something entirely new. We melted down our own sterling silver and transformed it into a uniquely textured disc, then melted 18k gold directly onto the surface, creating an organic, unexpected contrast between the two metals. The result is a truly one-of-a-kind necklace, where no two textures, gold accents, or finished pieces will ever be exactly alike. It’s a little raw, a little refined, and completely Dana Reed Designs—turning precious materials into something unexpected.
